Dating does put a spotlight on our insecurities. We are all broken souls in broken vessels. We can glue the outer shell, and glaze the pot: but inside we all have human weakness. The danger in masking our human weakness is that we forget that His strength is perfected in weakness. It’s better for us to wear our weakness.
@Taylor There’s a lot in this. There is a temptation to ‘conform to the patterns of this world’, most especially in this area. Jesus calls for the opposite of us.. in all areas. Humility is entirely opposed to the bravado or trying to impress mentality of dating. For Him to be seen, we need to be broken.. and for Him to build Himself in our relationships, we need only to be genuinely His to mould.
@Kati Yes! 500 characters is a small amount to dive into how weakness aught to shape our value, even to a spouse. Faith based dating is far more than finding someone else of faith.
@Taylor It really is… God’s knowledge of who you together as a combination will glorify Him.. like polishing stones changing you both to become as He intends. That’s lifelong, a purpose we can’t see and just can’t be gaged with any certainty, other than the clarity of the Spirit in our hearts that what’s to come is by His design.
